I'm A Celebrity bosses are reportedly 'in crisis' after a 'popular star' pulled out of the show's 2021 lineup after learning it will once again be held in Wales instead of Australia.
Other stars are said to be getting 'cold feet' as they fear 'roughing it in wet Wales won't be as fun as the jungle'.
It was revealed on Monday that show bosses had been forced to abort plans to film the next series in Australia following the country's lockdown hell and return to Wales' Gwrych Castle.

Wales: It was revealed on Monday that bosses had been forced to abort plans to film the next series in Australia following the country's lockdown hell and return to Wales' Gwrych Castle
A source told The Sun: 'One popular star dropped out immediately. Bosses are still in talks with loads of top celebs about taking part and feel confident this won't put people off given last year's success.'
They added: 'Luckily for bosses, the ones who have signed contracts are all still on board.'
Producers are hoping they have enough time to book major talent.
MailOnline has reached out to ITV representatives for comment.
